Title of Book:Bunheads

Author: Sophie Flack

3 ½ /5 Rating

I like how this author put her own experience in this book but mixed it
up a little to make it fiction. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys
ballet. While reading, there were times that I would not like to dance because
of what she wrote.

Title of Book:If I Can't
Have You, No One Can

Author: Don Lasseter

5/5 Rating

This book is a true crime book. I liked it because it was a story you
see happen all the time in real life, they just don't end this bad.

Title of Book:

Marie
Antoinette, Serial Killer

Author: Katie Alender

2/5 Rating

Not a very good book. It wasn't as interesting as it seemed and very
unrealistic.

Name: Luis S., 16 y/o

Title of Book: Anne Frank:
The Diary of a Young Girl

Author: Anne Frank

3/5 Rating

The book was sometimes hard to understand. The ending was confusing,
interesting, and sad.

Name:Melody T., 18 y/o

Title of Book:The Darkest
Part of the Forest

Author: Holly Black

5/5 Rating

The characters in this book are interesting and relatable. They each
face their own unique struggles. The plot built up and resolved itself
extremely well. Overall, the book was just so good that once I finished, I
wanted to read it all over again.

Title of Book:The Unbeatable Squirrel
Girl, Vol. 3

Author: North Henderson

5/5 Rating

This is my favorite squirrel girl adventure so far! I love the time traveling and the plot is amazing! The squirrel girl book series is one of my
favorite comic series ever!

Name: Andrea W., 18 y/o

Title of Book: The Tree

Author: H.P. Lovecraft

4/5 Rating

I really like the relationship between the artists, and as one myself,
I commend their friendship in that no envy is held between them. At the end, it
took on a mere creepy tone which I like, however, it did not captivate me like
The Cats of Olthar did in that CoU showed rightful revenge, which appeals a bit
more to me.

Name: Melody T., 17 y/o

Title of Book: The Only
Pirate at the Party

Author: Lindsey Stirling
& Brooke S. Passey

5/5 Rating

This autobiography of Dubstep violinist Lindsey Stirling is quirky,
fun, entertaining, true to life, and heartfelt. She writes of her struggles,
her trials, and how she overcame it all.

Name: Leah C., 14 y/o

Title of Book:Assassins

Author: Tim Lahaye and Jerry
B. Jenkins

5/5 Rating

Exciting plot and interesting character twists and turns throughout the
book.

Name: Jordan L., 15 y/o

Title of Book:Sunrise Over Fallujah

Author: Walter Dean Myers

5/5 Rating

I like books about war; it was right at my reading level and not hard
to understand.
